Used Kia Sportage ... worth it?

lestat78us

I saw a 99 sportage with 72k on the engine. There is some minor body work to be done and needs a new heater core. Is $2000 a fair price or is there something wrong that I'm missing? Also, anybody know how reliable these things are?

I recommend asking in the Kia Sportage 2005+ discussion (some current owners may be familiar with older models). Be sure to check out our TMV new car prices, used car pricing, used car values at Edmunds feature.

I have a 99 sportage appx 45,000 miles and I have had alot of trouble with the 4-wheel drive, other than that so far everything else has been fine.

My father wants to know what it would take to put a Chevy Luv diesel engine into a kia sportage. The engine in the Sportage likes to break timing belts so he wants a new one

I own a 99 sportage...It has less than 60,000 miles on it for a reason....I wish I would have read the website "Dont buy a Kia" before I bought it......HUGE MISTAKE!!!

beware. when i got mine it had 32k miles on it and it had 4 previous owners. that should of been the warning light. this is a nightmare of a car. you better off making rocket skates to get from point a to point b

While driving the sportage it lost power then came back on for a few second and lost it again. Now it does not start.Engine will not turn over. Battery is good LIghts work. Fuel pump was changed ,still will not run.
